Photos of Marco Rubio recently went viral after he was seen wearing dress shoes that appeared noticeably too big.

The images surfaced shortly after a report from the The Wall Street Journal revealed that Donald Trump has been gifting $145 Florsheim Oxford shoes to members of his inner circle.

According to the report, Trump often guesses the recipient’s shoe size on the spot and sends the shoes afterward.

Recipients reportedly include JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Howard Lutnick, among others.

The idea apparently started after Trump told Rubio and Vance during an Oval Office meeting that their footwear looked “terrible.”

Each box reportedly arrives with Trump’s signature and sometimes a personal note.

One White House official told the Journal that many recipients are “afraid not to wear them.”

So when the boss buys the shoes…
even if they don’t fit, you might still put them on.

Donald Trump reportedly gifted several senior Cabinet officials a pair of his favorite Florsheim Oxford dress shoes after criticizing their footwear.

Trump crudely joked: 'You know, you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly told the president he wears a size 11½.

But a photo of Rubio wearing the shoes has now gone viral online after viewers noticed a visible gap between his heel and the back of the shoe, prompting speculation that some officials may have exaggerated their sizes.

The European Union has announced a major step against fashion waste by banning the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes starting in July 2026. The move targets the long-criticized practice where brands burn or dump excess inventory.

The new rule will push fashion companies to recycle, donate, or reuse unsold items instead of destroying them. It’s part of the EU’s broader effort to make the fashion industry more sustainable and reduce environmental waste.
